Well Yeah, don't tell me you don't have an official Zora Argus Duntov shrine in your garage? PHILISTINE!!! Next you'll tell us you didn't get the Bill Mitchel bobblehead at the last meeting. My oil spot looks just like Harley Earl!!

Great article but it must have been writen a long time ago, just try to find a Optima Red top for $100. Best I could find over the net was $154 while local places now charge $179.

Great thread! I've had many Corvettes through the years and figured out a lot of these tricks but not nearly what I understand now. Understanding how to operate anything you have makes it 100% more enjoyable. I will be referring this to every C5 owner I know.

This really is a great thread; it hits on so many of the C5's potential problems.
Like the author said, these may sound like a lot of issues, but the C5 is still a great ride!

What would be the EASIEST and INEXPENSIVE way to fix the A/C Vacuum line problem. I had the leaky battery issue and cleaned it all up. Now, my A/C only works on Defrost...
I have a 02 Z06 with Twin Turbos and Methanol injection. Thinking it might be easier to install a vacuum pump just for the A/C. Can anyone give me some pointers?
Thanks in advance,
